Looking to become certified as an ESMHL? Healing with Horses Ranch will host a PATH International Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning Workshop and Skills Test. A PATH Intl. ESMHL ensures the safety and well-being of the equine participating in equine-facilitated mental health and learning sessions. They serve as the equine expert during equine/human interactions. The ESMHL partners alongside a mental health professional such as an LPC or LCSW as they deliver services and incorporate equines within the scope of their profession. An ESMHL must be knowledgeable in horsemanship and understands how to collaborate with a mental health therapist and/or educator to best meet the client’s needs and keep the lesson safe. ESMHLs also have a general knowledge of mental health and education processes.
ESMHLs have a thorough understanding of the ways equine behavior affects human responses and evaluate the role of the equine during the mental health or education sessions they supervise. The ESMHL maintains responsibility for the equine, assesses the equine’s response to any interactions, and prohibits or stops any activity that compromises the well-being of the equine. They ensure that equine interactions within the session are safe.
Please submit questions about this certification to [email protected]. More information about prerequisite requirements can be found on the PATH website link provided.
Schedule for each day is 9am-5pm.
Registration for this workshop closes on August 25th.
